This would have been a four star rating except for the fact that the tab holding the eyelet on the boot came loose very easily while I was helping my son tie his laces. I hope it was just a bad seam and the others hold up. Without this issue this would be a 4 star rating.

My 11 year old scout needed 7 wide waterproof walking shoes which are hard to find as boys sizes usually end with 6 and mens sizes start with 8. So I was thrilled when I found these sizes in between. The quality is excellent and my son says they are comfortable from the start. No break-in period required. He wore them on a 9 mile camping trip and didn't even get a single blister.

She didn't pay attention to the color at all. We chose size 11 for our 4.5 year old and they fit the growth well. They had great toe traction which helped her when climbing rocks. She splashed in the puddles and said her feet stayed dry. My only concern is that the laces feel flimsy and stretch a bit when we tie them…

My son needed size 6 hiking boots for his week at scout camp, which are hard to find in stores. He tried on a pair of Merrell low trainers at a local store and they fit perfectly so I bought them from Revain.

He was thrilled that they were waterproof - last night there had been a heavy downpour at the camp with a tornado warning (one landed 20 miles from the camp) so when they…
